Winter was the only season every Lake-Lander feared... In a post-apocalyptic America, a community survives in a national park, surrounded by water that keeps the Dead at bay. But when winter comes, there's nothing to stop them from crossing the ice. Then homebody Peter puts the camp in danger by naively allowing a stranger to come ashore and he's forced to leave the community of Wranglestone. Now he must help rancher Cooper, the boy he's always watched from afar, herd the Dead from their shores before the lake freezes over. But as love blossoms, a dark discovery reveals the sanctuary's secret past. One that forces the pair to question everything they've ever known. An action-packed and thought-provoking debut, for fans of Patrick Ness, Marcus Sedgwick, DREAD NATIONand The Walking Dead. 'A bucolic, intimate twist on the zombie/post-apocalyptic story... It's impressive how Darren has combined the pace, thrills, and gore you expect from zombie fiction with a genuinely tender romance.' - David Owen, author of GRIEF ANGELS 'Thrilling zombie epic meets gorgeous gay love story. The world-building is deft, the writing poetic ... this is very special! Properly scary and properly heart-warming.' - William Hussey, author of HIDEOUS BEAUTY 'Chilling, atmospheric, and beautifully written, WRANGLESTONEis a thrilling apocalyptic tale with a tender love story at its heart.' - Gabriel Dylan, author of WHITEOUT

I find myself in two minds about this post-apocalyptic novel. Part of me thought the premise had an abundance of potential, but another part thought it was poorly executed. While I was mildly curious, the repetitive prose made me lose interest, and the two-dimensional characters became lifeless and flat. Perhaps it needed a few more drafts and edits before publication. When the only engaging character died, I promptly lost interest in the sequel.

This isn't a fully formed book, it's a rough draft. No time is spent developing the characters or the setting, everything is told to us rather than shown.

I really wanted to like this book because it had a lot of things I enjoyed but I was very disappointed.

DieAReader Sry to hear it was such a disappointment😔 At least It of the TBR now though📚♥️ 1y
